Assortative mating by fitness and sexually antagonistic genetic variation.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2011

Arnqvist Göran

Abstract excerpt

Recent documentations of sexually antagonistic genetic variation in fitness have spurred an interest in the mechanisms that may act to maintain such variation in natural populations. Using individual-based simulations, I show that positive assortative mating by fitness increases the amount of sexually antagonistic genetic variance in fitness, primarily by elevating the equilibrium frequency of heterozygotes, over...
